Smith Center, Kan.-based Peterson Industries Inc., builder of the Excel line of high-end fifth-wheels, will be conducting its second live webcast to announce the launch of the Limited L36SDM, featuring a walk-in door in the slideout.

To watch the live web feed of this new model unveiling, go to www.excelrvs.com and click on the “Breaking News” tab on the left side of the home page.

According to a press release, the webcast is scheduled for March 14 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern), broadcast from the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, Va. Peterson said the introduction was based on the success of the D37SDF fifth-wheel, which also debuted via webcast and showcased the industry-first slideroom with a walk-in door.

“We are super excited to offer another floorplan with the walk-in door in the slide,” said Excel President Bryan Tillett. “We have put a lot of thought into this model, just as we did the 37SDF. It’s important to us that we design the entire floorplan around this feature and not just take existing models and move the door to the slide just for the sake of novelty.”

Settles RV, Flint Hill, Va., is offering this new floorplan at the 10th Annual Virginia RV show running March 14-16 in Hampton. During the show, Peterson Industries is teaming up with Settles RV for an 8:30 a.m. Sunday breakfast gathering of the Mid-Atlantic Excel Club.

The Limited L36SDM will offer a sneak preview of the 2015 Excel lineup that will be coming out early summer and feature new amenities such as multiplex wiring, standard MCD shades, slam latches on access doors, a larger bedroom as well as an additional closet built into the bedroom slide. This unit will also be sporting a new full-body paint color with a double clear coat coming in 2015.
